Opportunities and threats should be carefully analyzed as well. Some opportunities we can take advantage over are some businesses have been requesting help with installations. We need to take as many jobs as we can do to grow our business. We can also attempt to find more businesses that we can offer technical support to. Threats that we can expect to come with mainly would be competition. Businesses with big names want to keep their position.

This will make it much easier for people to get an idea of what our services are outside of our small advertisements. Secondly, we should contact churches, grocery stores, and newspapers that might have a bulletin board or an advertisement slot available. We should put as many advertisements out as we can. Websites like Craigslist and Google would also be ideal locations to advertise. Google offers advertising as putting your link higher on the search results.

When we get to a point where we have plenty of devices to work on we will need to scrap the delivering ourselves option and rely on mailing services. USPS would be our first pick with we have had good experiences in the past and their flat rate boxes make it easy to price. We would have the customers pay for the shipping and handling of their device. They will still have the option of picking their device up if
